    Hi Melissa

    We dont provide a cash discount because currently about 13% of people pay the full amount up front which means that to offer a very modest discount of say 1% would require the number of people paying up front to increase to about 22% for Council to break even. In simple terms, we believe the amount of the incentive we could offer would not be sufficient to change people’s payment behaviour sufficiently to not cost Council money.
